You do not need an ITSP account necessarily to have a SIP Trunk
gateway. You would only need one if you are routing the request to
SIPXBRIDGE.

No that is not the reason why. Re-entry would be a bad thing ideed and
you will have people complaining but that is not my primary concern.
The reason  you would want such a screen because otherwise, you wind
up with multiple identical entries in sipxbridge.xml and that is a
problem. sipxbridge can sift through the mess of duplicate entries
thus created in sipxbridge.xml all the information in it. It is bad
design.

I would say < 10% BUT the more important thing is that these are two
different things. Why are they coupled?

3.776 %  Really!

(Just kidding)

But really, polling aside, this is a bad design that is confusing,
causes needless coupling and is wrong. This must be fixed for that
reason.
